The chief executive of the UK's fintech trade body is stepping down next week after two and a half years in the role, with a former senior Nasdaq executive standing in until a permanent successor is found.

Innovate Finance, a not-for-profit association founded in 2014 to represent the UK's global fintech community, said in a statement today that Lawrence Wintermeyer will step down at the end of the month.
